Illicit drugs could be the safer alternative afterall

Pharmacy expert at the University of Sydney Dr Niall Wheate said
there was already evidence marijuana could have a role in pain relief.

"It's definitely a potential alternative.
There have been several studies in the US already that have shown that
in states that have legalised cannabis that overdose deaths from opioids
have actually dropped significantly, up to 30 per cent," he said.
